I am 30 years old and am a natural LDer. I've never worked to improve or increase it's frequency. I also have a history of sleep paralysis starting as a teenager, which doesn't happen anymore. It wasn't a positive expirence but I feel was related to stress and anxiety over a period of time.
Most recently I have had this huge increase in nocturnal orgasm, unrelated to LD. It's not ever tied into a dream that I remember, it is only waking up with (I'm Female) the physical components of an orgasm occuring. I have learned to keep these from stopping the minute I wake up, so this has been a pleasent thing.

In addition, and this is where I'm really hoping someone has some insight, I have had an increasing occurance of this feeling of being physically pulled out of my body as I start to fall asleep. It's not a gentle comforting thing, and I almost always fight against it until I can wake up and try to sleep again. Usually it takes about 5-6 cycles of falling asleep, feeling like a black hole of space has opened and is sucking my soul out of my body (sorry so dramatic) until I can force myself awake. This I guess is LD since I am aware and fighting against it. I always feel like if I give into it that it is death awaiting me. It almost feels like a spiritual fight I'm fighting.

Anyone else get this soul sucking black hole invading their sleep? It sometimes also feels as if my physical body is shaking and I wonder if it actually is (that I'm registering my physical existance at the same time) or just part of my LD. Which at times the feeling of my body shaking adds to the feeling that I am pushing myself to the limit of my body and soul. I often think in this LD that if I don't wake up I am just going to have a heart attack because it is pushing the limit of what my body can handle.
